Portsmouth High School (PHS) is a public high school in Portsmouth, Scioto County, Ohio, United States. It is the only high school in the Portsmouth City School District. Their nickname is the Trojans, and their school colors are red and blue.
PHS has served the city since its foundings in the 1830s and is the public school in the city. Portsmouth City School District is notable having a storied basketball tradition. In 2000, Portsmouth voters passed a much needed school bond issue, which helped construct new schools for the district. The new schools opened for the 2006-2007 school year. These schools won the Grand Prize from School Planning & Management's 2007 Education Design Showcase. The award is awarded annually to the K-12 school that displays "excellence in design and functional planning directed toward meeting the needs of the educational program."[2][3] In addition, the school system plans to build a new $10 million athletic complex.[4]
